Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 5027151, member: 10"] [B][I]CBS[/I][/B][I]: I know he's only one player on the roster, but Alex did have a 50/50 draft decision. He decided to come back and play for you, and then the entire situation flipped on its head in short order. Did you have some looming potential guilt over leaving the roster behind, leaving him behind after he had committed and wouldn't have been able to go back in the draft? I'm wondering if that might have played a bigger role than some people might have suspected.[/I] [B]Dan Hurley[/B]: Big. Yeah, that that was big, that was big, that was important. And again, I don't know, like, if he stays in the draft … I'm not sure what that does, because some players, the other returners, and then the transfers and the high school guys — the window would open up for them. But their options would be very limited at this point in the summer. There would have been an opportunity, just not knowing for the entirety of the group, but Alex in particular. Yeah, that was real. That came up a bunch of times, and I actually talked to him on Sunday. And I didn't talk to many people. I put the phone away at that point, but he was one of the few people I called and spoke to. Some posters had speculated that Karaban might have had something to do with him staying. They were right. [/QUOTE]
